Hi everyone, You are bidding on a 2003 Ford F450 crew cab with the powerful 6.0l turbo charged engine. This truck has the lariat trim package and so much more. It is the crew cab and has all the space you'll need for work and play. I acquired this truck from one of my customers that had an unexpected expense and was not able to pay me for the repairs completed. I am the lead diesel tech for our local dealership and have over 18 years of experience and hold a master certification. I have a side business maintaining and fixing diesel tow trucks, fleets, and also personal vehicles. I will describe this vehicle in sections, so i can be more exact in the description of this great truck.


The Exterior,

This truck is the crew cab body and is black in color. The previous owner said he had it repainted around a year ago and looks good. All panels are in good condition and nothing is falling off. The truck has small dents and scratches like you would expect to see in a truck of its age. Please see pics and judge for yourself. It shows well and has a good shine. The tailgate is the only part that has dents on it, but is a part that is easily replaced if you would want to. It locks and closes properly. The bumpers are in great shape and chrome shines like new. All decals are there and running boards are also in good shape, not cracked or hanging down. All glass is in great shape and no cracks. This truck has a heavy duty tow hitch and also has a gooseneck ball in the middle of the bed. It also has an electric brake controller that works fine. The bed has a hard foldable cover to protect whatever you put in it. All lights work fine and the bed and cab lights are LED's and look great at night.

Interior,

This truck has the lariat package, so interior is the highest trim package. It has leather seats and all the bells and whistles that come with this package. The interior condition shows normal leather wear, it has cracks in the leather in common areas of interior. I had the truck detailed and must admit, came out better than i thought. please see pics. The previous owner had a complete sound system installed from the alpine head unit, alpine amplifiers and custom bass enclosure behind the seats. It sounds great. All gauges work as they should and all systems from AC and heater system are 100% functional.

Wheels and tires,

The wheels on this truck are 19.5 inch wheels. They are in great conditions and the pictures prove it. The rear tires were worn out and decided to replace them before offering the truck for sale. They have only 10 miles on them!!!!!!!!! The front steer tires have about 85% to 90% of tread on them. Previous owner said they were replaced around 4 months ago. So you will get a truck with all NEW tires, and we all know how much these tires cost!! Also the tires are the bigger size (245) instead of (225) wider stance and stability.


Brakes and safety,

The front and rear brakes are NEW!!!!!!!  The right rear caliper was replaced due to small leak. I will not take any chances when it comes to safety!!!! caliper was replaced and fluid was also flushed. Truck stops on a dime.  ABS system also works fine and no codes in system.

Power train,

This truck has the powerful 6.0l turbo diesel engine. We all know that these engines had some issues, But I'm here to say that this engine has all those issues taken care of. This truck came to me because the turbo failed. I replaced the turbo at the customers request and noticed the engine had some leaks. I explained to the customer what was involved and he said to go ahead and reseal entire engine. I removed the engine and stripped it down to the short block. Cleaned all parts and not a bit of oil anywhere. During the process of replacing all seals from the oil pan to valve covers, The owner took my recommendations to replace some wear items like, glow plugs, glow plug harnesses and multiple injectors that came up during testing. For the record, ALL parts that were used are original replacement parts from ford. Every part was torqued to factory specs from oil pan bolts to especially the cylinder heads. Because the customer did not want to have any other issues, i convinced him to replace the oil cooler, high pressure pump, radiator, and install an EGR delete kit from sinister diesel. Keep in mind that he recently had a diesel programmer installed (SCT) and also has a full exhaust system installed as well. Lets not forget that the turbo is also new from ford. Ill end this by telling you that whom ever purchases this truck, I have all the pictures showing everything that was done to this truck. So don't take my word for it, see it with your own eyes!!

Transmission and final drive

Previous owner said that trans was replaced around 70k miles ago, and shifts perfectly. Rear end has no leaks and works as it should.

Fuel system,

This truck had twin fuel tanks and selector switch work as it should. Fuel gauge works and is accurate. The fuel filters were replaced along with the oil filter. 

All in all, This truck is ready to work!!! Please know that i reserve the right to end at any time due to it is also listed locally. Please feel free to ask any questions and i respond quickly. I don't have a buy it now price, but feel free to send an offer. If you live close to the chicago area, please feel free to set up a viewing or a test drive. 

P.S.   This truck has a great turbo whistle, and sounds like a beast when you hit the throttle. Good luck and happy bidding. I have a 100% feedback score for a reason!!! if you have a low feedback score, please contact me.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
